In a central London boarding house, an ominous letter lay undisturbed on a hallway floor. The envelope was sealed but unmarked and no address was written upon it.The mysterious letter was discovered, opened and read aloud to the occupants of the house but what it contained confused the residents. A week or so earlier, their landlady had gone missing and it seemed the letter held the key to working out where she was, however, did the letter actually come from outside the building or was it perhaps placed there by someone living in the home.Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery of Mabel Jennings Edmunds and the Lambeth tragedy.Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Don't forget to check out Magic mind! magicmind.co/macabre and use my offer code MACABRE for 40% off a subscription purchase or 20% off a one time purchase.Thanks so much for listening / watching!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killer, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PATREON——————————-If you like the podcast and YouTube shows and would like them to continue then please support us on Patreon.
